Ten years ago, crusties were the homeless losers of the punk scene but we kept sewing and sewing and sticking on patches because we knew, one day, middle-American college nerds would call on us during their naughty phase.

what’s a crusty? someone who wears a lot of patches?
02.20.08 at 4:52 pm
The crusty look is overshadowed by the Little Lord Fauntelroy Van Dyke sitting beside her. One “OH REALLLLY” from smirksalot, and the crusty is toast.

Do we try and redeem the crust punks? You can’t ignore their statement, because they’ve been saying it louder than anybody else for the past 15 years! They seem to want to live and die homeless and on the street. I can’t imagine giving them tech jobs in “the new economy,” and apartments and credit cards and pensions and everything. I guess they could take on jobs as interns at art galleries or studios, maybe understudy with professors at universities, if funding for the arts was a priority in this country. Yeah, I’m not sure why these two are hanging out together unless one of them is planning on killing the other later in the night somehow.

I should have kept it up until it became fashionable. As it is I just get to smirk at these dildoes when they ask me for change, thinking to my boring little self “I saw the bands you idolize when you were 9.”
Depressing. Old sucks.

with personal savings rates, peak oil, global warming and all other sorts of economically apocalyptic shit, crusties are going to be the roaches that out live the nuclear yuppie holocaust.
02.20.08 at 7:43 pm
I dig it. But I thought she had suede boots on for a sec.
02.20.08 at 7:46 pm
Is that to say college fucks are worth a fuck?
02.20.08 at 7:58 pm
your quick reply is broken. It has the “name” of the previous poster set as default.
unless… someone posted this from my computer!
She looks cute. Asthetic crustiness is a product of the western dream.
In a vacuous alienated society asthetics take precedent over any real content.
Who gives a fuck if you are homeless when you can just dress like a homeless and BE
homeless without all the rape.
NEXT.

What’s this “we” shit? You’re only a crusty as a bourgeois act of satire.
02.20.08 at 8:51 pm
The “name” field has a default name to make it easier for the admin staff to pad the site with filler posts. It’s part of the Voice/Vice formula. We’re the only two civilians posting here.
02.20.08 at 8:56 pm
Hhahahahahaha
That’s true as fuk!
02.20.08 at 9:09 pm
she’s fucking gross.
02.20.08 at 11:07 pm
woo! stay punk!
02.20.08 at 11:19 pm
I think that most crusties are secretly from rich families. Especially the smart and/or political ones. Not that it is a crime to be from a rich family, in fact I wish all rich people rejected their wealth.
02.21.08 at 12:04 am
the ungrateful ones

A lot of crusties are just runaway teenagers who want to live in the city or “travel,” but can’t afford it. Some of them are from wealthy, or at least middle class, families, but sometimes the families are so fucked up that they can’t stay living where they grew up. Some of them also come from SUPER conservative homes, where if they get caught listening to “the devil’s music,” or doing any kind of drug, or having pre-marital sex, anything that social moderates or liberals consider “fun,” then they get more or less, “banished,” from their home, or even their whole community, like we’re still living in the 19th century or something. Some are employable, others not because they’re high school drop-outs who smoke crack.

thanks shit juice. so do they really live on the street? i was in nyc recently and this kid came up to me and said, “good day sir, would happen to have some spare change so i can eat.” i was eating a cut of jambalaya from some kind of street fair at the time. i said no, and he replied, “well thanks anyways, and have a nice day.” he was wearing a jacket with a bunch of patches on it. was this person one of the crusties? either way, i felt like i was talking to some street urchin from a charles dickens novel. nyc is great.

nightfloat, What city have you been living in for the past 30 years that hasn’t been totally overrun with spiky haired, tattered-clothes wearing, “spanging,” gutter punks, otherwise known as “crusties,” to everyone else?
02.21.08 at 4:11 am
Clothing tells who you are or what you’re not. not quite sure what this style of dress represents, perhaps lots of time on their hands. Youth. Right, okay, got it now.
Well, then, He’s rockin’ that look, isn’t it!
02.21.08 at 10:24 am

e punk music so how are you going to make some wack ass commentary on a subculture you know nothing about??
02.22.08 at 7:58 pm
It seems funny that a Canadian who tries so painfully hard to emulate New York street fashion to the point where they look like a cheap imitation of a Max Fish patron would be so judgemental of others especially those who are exponentially younger than him. Get a life and some national pride.
02.23.08 at 3:26 pm
Way to namedrop Max Fish. Now we all know you’re a “real” New Yorker.
02.23.08 at 3:52 pm

The sad thing is that you wouldn’t of dare to express your feelings about Halton’s style to him, instead you go on the internet to talk shit. I’m happy that Dana did not introduce us…
03.03.08 at 12:54 am
Gutter punks are the new “black friend.”
